Programs drawing interest from national retailers

Dominican College in Orangeburg, N.Y. has 2,050 students with about 700 living on campus. The school’s campus ID is used for access to meal plans, physical areas, vending, photocopying, laundry and an off-campus program that has been in place for seven years.

The institution launched the off-campus program to give students more options to choose from and make it easier for them to pay for goods and services, says Michael Quinn, director of One Card service at Dominican. The program now includes 27 retailers, from pizzerias and Chinese food to CVS and oil changes.
